Ex-Met detective Steve Gaskin has commented on missing Brit Jat Slater's case claiming things are 'not looking good' for the 19-year-old who was last seen in Tenerife.
A retired top detective has claimed he would have treated Jay Slater's case as a murder inquiry to ensure vital evidence wasn't lost in the crucial first 24 hours.
"I'd want to know what he'd had from breakfast. Why has a 19-year-old bricklayer gone missing, what was he doing there, I would want to know everything about him, who was the last person to see him, check all their backgrounds too, I'd be speaking to police in the UK, has he got a criminal record, here or in Spain, what do we know about him."
Speaking on Jay's disappearance, Steve said: "There's a lot of speculation, but I just want to deal with the facts. I'd want to know who did he speak to, who has reported it, what they said, and I'd want to know the background of all these people too. He added: "We had four detectives dedicated to it, it's a lot of resources, they were drawn off other cases, but we found him."It's thought that he missed the bus to reach friends at the south of the island, an area popular with British tourists.
